Attention, authors! We have a game-changing update that’s going to make your book promotions even more effective. At Written Word Media, we’re always on the lookout for ways to enhance your marketing experience, and today, we’re thrilled to introduce a feature that’s been on many of your wish lists: direct links to your author store in our newsletters.
What’s New?
You can now schedule a promo with us through Freebooksy, Bargain Booksy, Red Feather Romance or Hello Books and include a direct link to your author store. This means readers can go straight from our newsletter to purchase your book on your website.Â
Imagine this: Our carefully crafted daily reader email lands in reader inboxes, and with just one click, they’re browsing your entire collection, directly on your website. Whether you’re offering a free download, a bargain book, or the latest in your steamy romance series, this seamless experience is now just a click away.
What does it look like?
Why did we add this Feature?
You asked, and we listened. We know how crucial it is for you to have control over your sales and to build a direct relationship with your readers. That’s why we’ve added this functionality. By directing readers to your author store, you not only drive sales but also deepen your connection with your audience—on your terms.
How Does It Work?
Getting started with this new feature is a breeze:
- Schedule Your Promo: Choose your preferred email promotion (or Reader Reach Facebook ad campaign!) through our platform.
- Toggle On the Author Store Option: When prompted, simply toggle the option to include a direct link to your author store.
- Input Your Link: Enter the URL to your author store. Remember, this should be a page where readers can directly purchase your books without another click to an outside retailer.
Voilà ! Your direct link will now appear alongside other retail links in our newsletter, giving readers a straightforward path to your store.
FAQs: Answering Your Top Questions
What qualifies as an Author Store Link?
The link must lead to a retail page on your website where readers can transact directly. Links to Amazon or other retailers don’t qualify, as this feature is designed to bring readers directly to your store.
Do I still need an Amazon link?
Yes, an Amazon link is still required, but your author store link will be featured alongside it, offering readers multiple purchasing options.
Can I use this with promo stacks?
Absolutely! If a promo partner supports direct links, your author store link will be included in their newsletter.
Which promo partners currently support direct links?
Hello Books and Fussy Librarian support direct links.
